Bahrain has been home to human civilization for about 5000 years now as the region is claimed to have been inhabited since the Bronze Age. The present-day country was a significant trade center then. The region was called Dilmun and linked Mesopotamia to the Indus Valley. Since then, Bahrain has been a significant center of trade, politics, and economy.

It has been ruled by numerous empires and dynasties during the period before the Common Era including the Assyrians and Babylonians. Bahrain has also been a part of the popular Achaemenid Empire between the 6th and 3rd centuries BCE. This was the time when the country was immensely popular for pearl trading. It was called Tylos by the ancient Greeks.

With the advent of modern civilization and the progress of time, Bahrain became popular across the globe. People from all around the world started trading with the country. This all led to the immense development in the region.

During the middle ages, the country was controlled by Qarmatians for a short period of time. Later on, they were defeated by the Abbasids, and consequently, the power was replaced by the Uyunid dynasty. During the early modern era, the Portuguese Empire took over control after seizing Bahrain and ruled for about 80 years. In subsequent years, several small dynasties and powers invaded the nation.

The Omanis and the Al Saud also claimed the rule in the 19th century. However, in the year 1892, the British established dominance in the region. They controlled the territory for about 80 years before Bahrain became a part of the Arab league. In the year 1971, the country declared independence after signing a friendship treaty with the United Kingdom. Since then, it has been flourishing at a fast pace. Today, Bahrain is one of the significant countries in the Middle East and is loved by millions of travelers. Tourists come to the country from every part of the world to savor its scenic charm and historical beauties.

Spread over an area of about 780 sq. km and set wonderfully amid the Persian Gulf, Bahrain is a beautiful island nation comprising 33 natural islands. It also has more than 50 artificial islands to its name. The topography of Bahrain generally consists of low-lying plains and desert regions. The country stands at an average elevation of 61 meters above sea level. With the absence of significant water bodies, the Kingdom of Bahrain has a negligible area as the water region. Almost 100% make up the land region that includes desert, plains, and coastal regions.

As Bahrain is set amid the Persian Gulf, it also has a beautiful coastline that runs for about 161 km. The lowest point in the country is the Persian Gulf at 0 meters and the highest point lies at Jabal ad Dukhan, also called the Mountain of Smoke, at about 122 meters.

Khaliji style of music, a gulf folk music, has been a famous genre in the country for centuries now. However, its authentic form has been greatly influenced by western instruments. Today, people love to listen to all kinds of music due to the effect of globalization. Here, you would find locals enjoying jazz, rock, and hip hop as well. The country hosts a few music concerts every year wherein people from beyond the nation partake in different events and competitions.

Food and Drink
Bahraini cuisine is a mix of culinary traditions and practices from numerous Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Hence, Bahraini food would provide your taste buds with the flavors of Indian spices and the varieties of the Arabs. However, the authentic Bahraini dishes boast of influences majorly from the Arab world. Today, with the advent of globalization, world cuisine has become a part of the country's lifestyle.

Here, people love to savor their national dish of chicken machboos as well as Italian delicacies with the same enthusiasm and interest.
